Ilse and Leo Mildenberg Memorial Symposium
Sculpture and Coins: Margarete Bieber as Scholar and Collector
In 2005 the Harvard Art Museums acquired the coin collection of the
German archaeologist and art historian Margarete Bieber (1879-1978).
Her work on Hellenistic and Roman sculpture and on the Roman Theater
remains fundamental. This symposium around her coin collection will
bring together art historians, historians and numismatists of
different backgrounds and interests from the US and from Europe. It
will focus on the interrelation of coins and sculpture with an
emphasis on the development of Greek portraits and portraits of the
Roman empresses, as well as on designs personifications. Organized by
Carmen Arnold-Biucchi, Damarete Curator of Ancient Coins in the Asian
and Mediterranean Division.
Speakers include Annetta Alexandridis (Cornell University), Carmen
Arnold-Biucchi (Harvard Art Museums), Martin Beckman (University of
Western Ontario), Larissa Bonfante (Emerita, New York University),
Barbara Borg (University of Exeter), Karsten Dahmen (Staatliche Museen
zu Berlin), Peter F. Mittag (University of Cologne), Matthias Recke
(Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen), and William E. Metcalf (Yale
University).
